NOVEL WEB Chapter 446
After learning that she actually had grandparents, and getting in touch with them, despite Ji Nian having said countless times that they would love her dearly, Shen Qingtang still boarded the plane with a mixture of anticipation and unease.
Meanwhile, as Ji Tingzhou's health improved, the Ji family dismissed many of the previously dishonest servants. Although it wasn't obvious at a glance, the Ji family was indeed quietly changing.
For the better.
Everyone was privately spreading the rumor that the real young lady of the Ji family had returned.
Not to mention her appearance, which made it clear at a glance what was going on, just Ji Tingzhou's attitude was enough for even those with less intelligence to sense something different.
It was a pity that these gossips didn't reach Ji Nian's ears. She had been staying in Bruce's laboratory for several days.
It was Bruce who was assisting her.
Without the previous training Ji Nian had given him, Bruce in this world sometimes didn't even know what Ji Nian was doing.
Some of the extraction methods were unheard of, and some materials that he thought were incompatible behaved as obedient as tamed dogs in Ji Nian's hands.
During this period, the only thing Bruce could do was to help Ji Nian make a laxative potion.
It was said to be a gift for Young Master Gu to thank him for his previous help.
Soon, Ji Nian finished making the potion for Wei Yang. After testing it and confirming that there was no problem, she went to see Ji Tingzhou.
"Brother Wei Yang's condition is more serious than I expected. The potion can clear the toxins in his body, but there are risks," she said.
Ji Tingzhou remained calm and motioned for Ji Nian to continue.
Picking up the file placed beside his leg and putting it on the table, Ji Nian motioned for Ji Tingzhou to take a look. After he finished reading, she said, "The toxins have taken root in his body for too long. If they are all removed at once, his immune system will be severely disrupted, and he will have a high fever. And he is very weak at this time."
"If he can get through it, he'll be fine. But if he can't..."
Ji Nian didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Ji Tingzhou understood.
Actually, the potion could have been ready two days ago, but Ji Nian had been trying to calculate and minimize the risks. However, every experiment result had problems in the end, proving that her first set of data was indeed the most perfect plan.
"Can't it be done in batches?"
Ji Tingzhou meant it in the same way as the treatment for Lu Jinghuai.
But Ji Nian shook her head. "The situation is different. The poison in Brother Wei Yang's body must be removed at once."
No one knew the toxic characteristics of 003 better than her.
Ji Tingzhou thought for nearly ten minutes and asked Ji Nian many more questions.
Finally, he made a decision.
"Use it on him."
Even if the result was failure and Wei Yang faced death, Ji Tingzhou wouldn't regret his decision today.
If Wei Yang was conscious, he believed that Wei Yang would also make the same choice at this moment.
"Let Bruce handle the rest of the preparations," Ji Tingzhou said, looking at Ji Nian across from him who was stuffing food into her mouth.
Ji Nian tilted her head in confusion, and then heard the person across from her say with a fussy look, "You look so ugly now."
After getting along for some time, Ji Nian could automatically interpret his words. She raised her hand and touched her face, knowing that he meant to urge her to go to sleep.
Her complexion must have been terrible after staying up late these days.
System: [Use Hu Dayu Night Cream when you stay up late. It's a century-old domestic brand, specifically designed to combat the dullness caused by staying up late, making your skin as smooth as a newborn baby's bottom.]
[Hu Dayu Night Cream, your best partner for staying up late.]
Ji Nian: [... ]
System: [I've taken on a small advertisement. It can help you get back home faster.]
Ji Nian thought that the company's advertisements had even reached the system. Its influence was really great.
Then she had to change the plan for Wei Junze's hemorrhoid cream when she got back.
...
As long as Ji Tingzhou wasn't in a bad mood, he seemed quite easy to get along with (?).
So most of the time, Ji Nian didn't oppose him, and their previously confrontational relationship had unconsciously eased.
After sleeping for a while, a servant came to tell Ji Nian some good news.
"Have they found He Xiang!?"
Without even having time to change her clothes, Ji Nian ran to Ji Tingzhou in her pajamas. Habitually, she pushed the door open and went straight in.
Seeing her come in, Ji Tingzhou, who seemed to be looking at something, naturally closed his computer and looked over.
"What's the rush? He's not going to run away," he said.
Previously, Ji Nian had asked Gu Xiuyuan to find He Xiang, but there had been no news. Then she had mentioned it to Ji Tingzhou.
True to his capabilities, Ji Tingzhou had found the person for her in just a few days.
But then, when Ji Tingzhou handed the information to her, Ji Nian's expression wasn't as happy anymore.
He Xiang's situation -
Wasn't good.
In fact, it could be described as tragic.
When the Ji family members arrived, he had already lost both of his hands. Fortunately, his feet, which were about to be cut off, were saved.
It had nothing to do with toxins.
Even Ji Nian couldn't do anything to reverse the situation.
According to the information, his hands had been gone for almost a year. Besides his hands, his tongue had also been cut out. There weren't many external injuries on his body, but his internal organs were severely damaged.
"The person is in the hospital," Ji Tingzhou said.
"But I suggest you'd better not show up in front of him."
Ji Tingzhou's words made Ji Nian, with red eyes, look up.
Seeing the tears in Ji Nian's eyes at this moment, Ji Tingzhou remembered that night when Ji Nian's face hadn't fully recovered and she had cried with a runny nose at the sight of his sorry state.
His expression suddenly froze. When he spoke again, he didn't even notice that his tone had softened a little.
"Have you thought about what will happen after you leave?"
His words made Ji Nian temporarily snap out of her sad mood.
"Not talking about He Xiang, just Lu Jinghuai," he continued.
"He has become dependent on you, but you can't stay with him forever. You'll go back to your own world sooner or later."
A promise that can't be fulfilled is very cruel.
Ji Nian had thought about it.
When she first went to Country O, she had hesitated whether to get close to Lu Jinghuai. But when she saw his state, she finally couldn't help but approach him.
Later, after the system's voice no longer had the electrified sound and it wasn't as weak, she discussed this issue with it.
This was the system's answer: [Previously, I couldn't guarantee it, but now I can say that because your changes have caused huge changes to the original plot of the book.]
[So after you leave, we will extract all the data of your soul and copy it into this body to take over this world.]
Ji Nian: [?]
Knowing that even if it explained in detail, Ji Nian wouldn't understand, the system simply said, [You can understand it as there will be another you in this parallel world from now on.]
From then on, your will will be hers, and you two will be indistinguishable. But because you'll take different paths in fate, your future life experiences will also be very different.
All in all, she could go back to her own world without worry.
"Don't worry about this," Ji Nian said with a smile to Ji Tingzhou.
"I know you're reluctant to part with me, so trust me. What you said won't happen."
Seeing Ji Nian's relaxed and well - prepared look, Ji Tingzhou was full of doubts, but for some reason, he didn't ask any more questions in the end.
The time had come.
Even though Ji Nian was extremely anxious about He Xiang at the moment, he had to solve the problem in front of him first.
A week later.
Wei Yang had hovered on the brink of death three times. During the last time, Ji Tingzhou had even prepared for the worst for him.
Finally, Wei Yang's fever subsided.
Three days later, he woke up in his own room.
The first thing he mumbled in a slurred voice after waking up was, "Brother, I want to eat grilled sausages."
